Funding Awarded for Cycle Infrastructure Improvements<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong>The Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Board<\/a> has awarded the Science Vale \u00a3490,000 for cycle infrastructure improvements. This is great news and means that some plans that HarBUG has been championing for years may now become a reality. We hope that the Winnaway widening, refurbishment and extension to the crossing point will be one of the projects that gets the go ahead. We also hope that we can do something about a new route to Wantage but there are currently issues with landowners which we are trying to iron out, gently. There will also most likely be improvements for routes from Abingdon\u00a0 to Milton Park. The final details of projects have still to be decided upon but you should start to see some improvements in the near future.<\/p>\n Icknield Way Re-opens Across Campus<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Icknield way has re-opened across the top of the Campus having been closed for a year to allow de-commissioning work to be carried out at Tank Farm by RSRL.<\/p>\n You may have also noticed that the Sustrans path has been re-numbered from regional route 44 to route 544. Previously Sustrans had National Cycle Routes and Regional Cycle Routes with separate numbering systems so you had national route 44 (Shrewsbury to Ross on Wye) and regional route 44 (Didcot to Wantage). Now there is just one numbering system and the Didcot to Wantage path is now route 544.<\/p>\n New Events Section on the Website<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The website has been updated to include an Events plug in. On the homepage<\/a> you will now find an events listing which if you click on an event will give you further details. If you know of a local cycling event please send the details to web@harbug.org.uk<\/a> to get it included on the website.\u00a0 The member’s ‘log in’ box is now on the right hand side of the page.<\/p>\n Science Vale Bike to Work Day<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Finally we are again joining forces with Milton Park BUG and Culham BUG to run a Science Vale Bike to Work day on Wednesday 19th June during National Bike Week.<\/p>\n We are just finalising timings but please put the date in your diaries \/ Outlook \/ smart phones etc.<\/p>\n
